Why He Deserves It: If you want an action-packed summer killfest romp, with a stylish and badass hero, why would you look anywhere else but toward Dante?

The red trenchcoat-wearing, impossibly sexy monster hunter practically screams franchise star. Dante's story is not a complicated one. As a boy, his mother was murdered by demons, so now Dante makes a career out of killing demons and monsters in the most violent and flamboyant ways possible. Constantly at his side are his giant sword and two handguns, named Ebony and Ivory. Dante is actually a demon himself, and has been known to transform in the heat of battle for even more killing power.

Besides the obvious big-budget action sequence potential, Dante's troubled family history would also lend itself well to the medium. The games frequently pit him against his corrupted brother, Virgil, also a demon. The only thing better than one demonic badass waging war onscreen is two. Dante is essentially a rock star who slays demons and beds women, instead of playing music and bedding women.

Why He Deserves It: What's a Guybrush Threepwood, you ask? It's a delightfully amusing pirate/adventurer from LucasArts' Monkey Island series. Guybrush is a young man blessed more with boyish charm and good looks than anything in the way of courage, valor, or skill in battle. His primary goals in life center around becoming the greatest pirate on the high seas and wooing the beautiful governor, Elaine.

Unfortunately, the dread pirate LeChuck frequently stands in Guybrush's way. LeChuck, despite being undead and such, competes for Elaine's affections and generally makes life a living hell for Guybrush. Only by navigating the mysterious Monkey Island and finding various artifacts or mystical portent can Guybrush thwart LeChuck's latest scheme.

After the popularity of Pirates of the Caribbean, who wouldn't want a more comedic take on the pirate genre? Well, more comedic anyway. The point being that the only thing more exciting to witness than sword fights are verbal "insult sword fights." One of Guybrush's defining traits is that humor, more than steel or cannon, is his true weapon. A true role model for the children, that Guybrush.
